Railroad Building in the United
States.

An exchange culls some interesting
facts and figures from the Railway
Age:
At the close Of 1886, Of 3l2,0l5 miles
OF railroad in operation in the world,
the United States had 1928, or nearly
one half of the total mileage. Not
witLstanding this remarkable showing.
the work of railway building goes ON
with wonderful rapidty, as shown by
the fact that during the present year
we are TO add 1900 miles TO the al
ready large aggregate Kansas leads
all other states this year as railroad
builder. In fact, II has for years done
more of that kind of business than
anything else, and has waxed wealthy
thereby. At the beginning of the year
the state had 4,704 miles, and has nd
ded 1884 to that number since January
1st. Texas comes next, with G,434 on
the first of the year which has been in
creased 10y G65 miles The other states
and territories which have made the
largest increase stand in the following
order: Nebraska, $50 miles; Dakota,
49l; Indian Territory, AIS and Colo
raGo, with 40s miles, all laid down

SMOKING UNDER WATER.-Says an
expert swimmer in the New York Sun {:
1T looks very strange TO see a man go
under water with lighted cigar in his
mouth, smoke calmly at the bottom,
and come TO the surface with the cigar
burning as nicely as i: he were smoking
in his easy chair. Apparently he defes
all natural laws. but Os course he
doesn't. 1t is a simple trick, but it re-
Quires practice. Just as l throw my
self backward 10 go down, l flip ths
cigar end for end with my tongue and
upper lip, and get the lighted end in my
mouth closing my lips water tight
around il. a little slippery elm juice
gargled before going in prevents any
accidental burning of the mouth. Go
iug slowly down backward, l lie at full
length on the bottom of the tank and
blow smoke through the out end of nv
cigar. Just as ] reach the surface.
another flip reverses the cigar. and there
l am smoking calmly. The reversing
is done so quickly that nobody notices

Being A Boy.

The1e is nothing in the world OF which
a boy is so proud as OF the fact that he
is boy. He 'cesn't despise girls, but
he pities them heartily. No one has
better told the story of SoyhoOd than
Charles Dudly Warmer. You will all
own the truth of what he says
One Of the best things in the world to
he is a boy. Il requires no experience,
though il needs some practice to be
good one. The disadvantage OF the po-
s.. ION is that it does not last long enough.
| is soon over. Just as YOU get used to
being boy, you have TO be something
eTsa. with a good deal more work to do,
and not half so much fun. Aud yet
every boy is anxious to be a man, and is
very uneasy with the restrictions that
are put upon him as boy.
There are so many bright spots in the
life of a farm boy that l sometimes
.hink [ should like to live the life over
again. l should almost be willing to be
a girl if it were not for the chores.
There Is a great comfort to boy in the
amount of work he Can get rid of doing.
1t is sometimes astonishing how slow
he can go on an errand. Perhaps he
couldn't explain himself why, when he
Is sent to a neighbours after yeast, he
stops TO stone the frogs. He is not ex-
actiy cruel, but he wants 20 see if he can
hit 'em. Il is a curious fact about boys
that two will be a great deal slower n
doing anything than one. Boys have
great power of helping each other do
nothing.
But, say what you will about the gen.
eral usefulness of boys. farm without
a boy would very soon come TO grief.
He is always in demand. In the first
place, he is to do all the errands, go to
the store, the postOffice. and 10 carry all
